Desiccated coconut is used commonly in various industries like confectionery and bakery products, frozen foods, food service, and consumer products. It is prepared and preserved by removing the natural moisture in the fruit. It usually contains about 3% of moisture, and is produced from the white part of fresh, mature coconut kernel. The white part is disintegrated or shredded into desired sizes such as flakes, granules, chips, or shreds.
